From a crowd of animals all wanting to get their own kick or punch in. Sad.

Ordinary civilians? This is Soi 6. Part brothel, part cage match, part bar.

 

For the farang it was the worst day of his life. For the Thais on Soi 6 it was just another Tuesday night.

The whole city is a brothel, filled with scammers, and ladyboys who rob people, security guards with brains of an ostrich and a policeforce  who is always nowhere to be seen...and in Thailand Thais can do as they want, but always blame others.. Indeed the man was intoxicated but still no reason to beat him like this. It looks like Wild wild west

[wensiensheng]

The foreigner was an idiot of course. Certainly deserved to be ejected from the bar. 
 

Having done that, I’m not so sure that the bouncers had a remit to follow him out into the street. Simply stopping him re entering should seem to be their main mandate.

 

As for the people who jumped him once he was on the ground, they deserve to be done for assault. Most came from bars across the street so the whole thing was nothing to do with them.

 

Summery, a poor advert for Thai tourism all round. From scantily clad girls on the street, drunk idiotic foreigners, over aggressive bouncers and mob violence.

 

Other than that, what’s not to like 🤷‍♂️

go ahead and be in denial that bars in general along with girlie bars doesn't attract lower quality individuals.

this is taking place right on soi 6 in front of a bar.

 

Yet, by some miracle, 99.9% manage to go there and leave without commiting some degree of assault.

 

Whoever the clowns jumping out and trying to keep the mob away from him (and, unfortunately, succeeding) when he was down should've joined him on the ground. If you don't send a clear and direct message at every opportunity you lose the advantage (in this case being the "advantage" of having compliant patrons not out to cause such occurrences).

Never was a more deserving beat down ever given. As they say... play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Kudos to the idiot for saving someone from that line of work.

 

Who the hell goes out in public with no shirt on?  He deserved to be decked just for that.

 

I take it you did ot go out to the party areas.  They had a couple of them dancing adn twerking on barrelss on Suk 8  All the girls loved them

[spidermike007]

What a total buffoon. Was he ignored or abused as a child? Who are his parents and why did they fail so miserably? 

 

We forgive you guys. Someone had to clock him. Good work.

Why do people get drunk in bars?

Cos they sell alcohol in them I suppose

A popular and common opinion - but not one I agree with.  I can't say what else happened but in the video, it was the bouncer that started the violence.  Thai bouncers need to learn that their job is not to attack people, its to stop disturbances.

 

There is no doubt that this man was an idiot but it goes with the territory. Venues that sell alcohol should expect drunken idiots and deal with them appropriately. Any one of those kicks and punches could have killed the idiot - would you be saying he deserved it if he died?

 

I don't know about Thailand but people have been killed and seriously injured by bouncers in the UK - which is why the trade is now regulated and bouncers have to be licenced.

[CLW]

He surely got what he deserved with the first punch. But what happened after is definitely NOT okay. 10 or more vs 1 plus kicks and stomps against the head. This could have ended up in murder

Well said. It's the Amsterdam/Las Vegas/Cancun effect. I wasn't trying to suggest that cannabis makes people more aggressive, but I am saying that when cannabis becomes part of the allure of coming to Thailand, it starts attracting people who have less respect for the culture, and who see Thailand merely as a party destination where anything goes.

Exactly right. So many people on here say "but cannabis relaxes you, you can't blame cannabis!"

 

We all know this. But it's the message Thailand sent out to the world when they legalised cannabis. A message that says anything goes, and therefore attracts even more wronguns like the bloke in this story.

The problem with a video is that it is a glimpse of time only. Unless the video started before the incident and kept running before, during and after the video, nobody will know what lead up to the incident and what happened afterwards.

Agreed but it doesn't change the fact that bouncers are not supposed to attack people. He may have done something before and was clearly taunting people but he was not being violent in the video.

[MangoKorat]

Didn't the Pattaya police state that they would be reminding bouncers what their job entailed following a similar incident?

 

Maybe they haven't got as far as Soi 6 yet.

The bouncers finished the disturbance.

Very effectively.

They all work for NightWish Group down there which is headed by an Englishman.

100% this. Scummy people who wouldn't have even considered Thailand in the past are now thinking if cannabis is allowed, Thailand must be somewhere I can get away with anything, let's go!

Interesting point.  I hadn't considered this before.  However, is Amsterdam (which also has prostitution as a big draw) have the same issues?

What message?  If you annoy Thai people they will gang up on you then beat the crap out of you?

 

Yeah, in case you didn't realise, people who have no intention of getting pissed up and being annoying, still don't want to go somewhere where the people batter people who do.

 

This threat might make you feel good, but it's really not great for tourism.

[What to do now]

I have said it once,I'll say it a million times . Until Thailand starts getting tough on the tourist that are behaving badly,it will continue. Want to come and steal or be violent - you are doing jail time or being banned permanently. 

 Won't happen...I know. Thailand is busy protecting itself as " family friendly" destination.

bull<deleted>.... he was drunk and disruptive but not violent. Egging people on does not make those people less responsible for assaulting that man. Security was supposed to diffuse the situation.. Not escalate it into a street brawl. That’s quite a crowd he’s drawn to say he wasn’t violent. He’s been assaulting women, and judging by the amount of women that waded in, it wasn’t just a slap on the arse he’d been dishing out.

a single punch put hi on the floor, and a kick to the head to hopefully keep him there.

they are club security guards. They aren’t there to protect the streets. If aggrieved victims or partners decide to take matter into their own hands, why should he stop them?

he looked like he was being an aggressive pr* k and got all that he deserved.

I don't think it does, but then Amsterdam isn't in a tropical climate where these types can roam around shirtless in flip flops all night, plus Amsterdam nightlife is nowhere near as hedonistic. For a start the brasses are all behind shop windows.

They need a proper police force that patrols visibly at night in the drinking areas.  That's what we have in the UK (which is apparently similar to Pattaya, as guys love to go out, get absolutely sh*t-faced and then start a big fight).  If you imagine four Thai police officers turned up before this guy was attacked, he likely would have calmed right down.  (Also, it might have got the mob to disperse and the security thugs to go back inside.)

 

But yeah, optics.  Like with most issues in Thailand, you can't fix something without first admitting that there is something that needs fixing.  🤷‍♂️
